Application filed Zi'anuary 21, 1910. Serial Ito. 539,341.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, CHARLES TV. WRIGHT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hobart, in the county of Kiowa and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in OiI Burhers; and I do hereby declare the following to he a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as 'Will enable others skilled in the art to which it appcrtains to make and use the My invention relates to new and useful improvements in oil burners and moi-sparticularly to that class in which crude oil is used for heating and cooking purposes and my object is to provide a burner throiigh which the maximum heat will be produced at a minimum fuel consumption.-

A further object is to provide a burner in which air is thoroughly coinniingled with the burning oil, thus efiecting a higher temvide means for the introducing of steam to the burner. I

A still further object is to provide a lzurner of a simple, economical and eflective construction inwhich oil is perfectly and, under economical. rteedg positirely consumed withont si'no'ke or odor? Other objects and advantages will be hereinafter referred to and more particularlygointed out in the claims.

Re rring to the drawings forming a part I the oil my and base plate showing the oil fed from the bottom. Fig. is a section of the stove with an oil tray and plate showing the oil fed to thetray from the top. Fig. 3 is'a modification showing a section of a stove witlra burner and steam supplying means as applied. Fig. i is a still further modification showing a burner as applied to a cookstove with the steam supplying means, and, Fig. 5 is a top plan View of the device as shown in Fig. 4:.

Referring to the drawings in which siinilar reference numerhls designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, 1 indicates a stove of an preferred form having mounted therein adjacent its bottom a fire pot 2 and seated in said dllliil is a burner comprising a base plate or receiving tray 3 having a substantially ertical collar land anopening 5 in the central portion thereof and having its edges bent upwardly to form a trough. A substantially cone shaped oil tray G somewhat smaller than said receiving tray is s ated on said tray through the medium of lugs 7 carried by the oil tray and the ends thereof are bent uphardly to form an annular trough 8.

Passing transversely through. the sides of the dome of the substantially cone shaped tray 6 are the air inlet openings 9 and a cavity 10 in the upper central portion of said' dome is adapted to receive oil fed from the I'GSKIVOiZ or tank 11 through the intermediate pipes 12 and 13 and central feed pipe Lia the the Vertical pipe 12 adjacent the reservoir is a valve 15, the purpose of which is obvious and a flame deflector 16 is slidahly mounted on said central feed pipe 14 through the medium of collar 17 and adjusting screw 18, whereby said deflector may he;iaised or lowered according to the size of flame given 0d from the burner. A draft inlet 19 adjacent the bottom of said stove is adapted to receive air currents Which pass through opening 5 of the receiving tray 3 and through the air inlet openings 9 to the surroumiing flame, thereby aiding the combustion and causing a rising of temperature'at a minimum fuel consumption. Some of the air currents passing through the opening 5 will meet the concave under surface'of the cone shapedtray 6 and be turned off through the. space left between the oil tray and the receiving tray, thereby passing to the .outer edges of said trays aiding the combustion of oil that may have flowed to that portion thereof. 7

It will be seen that I have used the upward draft, with which all stoves are supplied, and converted the same into a downward draft through the burner, the air pass ing through the openings 9 andthat passingthrough the space between the trays uniting to cause the flame to burn and give oii an extraordinary amountof heat.

As shown in Fig. 2, I. feed the oil to the burner through the overhanging central feed pipe 14-. which drops oil to the concavity 10 where it is lighted, some of the oil running over the dome to the annular trough 8, the air passing through the openings and over the edge oi the tray commingiingwith the oil and aiding in the combustion thereof, but I- do not limit myself to this form of 'overhanging oil feeding pipe and may use the form shown in Fig; l, in which case the central feed pipe 14 is passed through the opening of the receivingtrayfi, one end thereof engaging a threaded opening 18.

leading tothe concavity in the domein said tray 6. ()i1 is fed from the reservoir to said; central feed pipe 1a through the intermedi ate pipe 13', a .T joint 20'connecting the intermediate and central feedw'pipes and a plug 21 is inserted in one end of the T, the purpose of which is toallow the cleansing of the adjacent pipes 'whenit is so desired; It will be seen that in this last referred to form, the central feed pipe passes through vided some slight modifications wherein;

steam is allowed to boiled to the burner,

thereby greatly aiding the combustion and increasingthe heat within the stove. As shown'in' Big 3, I use the heating'stove as shown'in Fig. 2 and the form of burner used in Fig. 1, and within the upper portion of the stove, I have provided a cylindrical boiler 20, which is filled with water from a reservoir 21 through the medium of pipes 22 and 23. Said pipe23 enters said boiler from its upper portion and extends a consider- :gble distance within sothat when the valve 24 is opened and water is allowed to flow to said boiler from the reservoir, it will be buta short while before the level of the water will reach the end'of-said pipe 23, while an additionahpipe 25 is insertedthrougli said boiler from its bottom and extends almdst to the top thereof. The free end of said additional ipe extendswithin a short distance above t e burner and carries thereon a deflector 26. After the burner has. been i lighted, water is allowed to flow from the reservoir to the boiler audit will be seen that within a short while the water will become heated to a'boiling oint, when the steam arising therefrom Wlll be" carried through the outlet pipe 25, which extends to the upper portion of said boiler, and allowed to play upon the burner, in which case the heat will-be increasedand said steam united with the escaping carbon, thereby furnishing additional oxygen for-its consumption. The. result is obvious.

As shown in Fig. i,a still further modified form of steam supplying means has been provided. InJthi-s ease, I have shown the form of'burner, as disclosed in Fig. 1 applied to a grate within a fire-box 27 of a cook stove28. Here I. have shown a substantially cylindrical boiler 20 immediately above saidv burner'adapted to be filled with water from a reservoir 21 through the medium of the pipes 22 ,land 23, said pipe 23' entering the boiler from the bottom thereof. i An additional pipe 25 leading from the upper portion of said boiler curves downwardly and extends within a short distance above said burner,-whereby itwill beseen that as the water within the; boiler becomes heatedtp a boiling point, the steam arising therefrom will passoutwardly through the pipe 25' and be allowed to commingle with" the burnin oil on the burner, the rpsult of 3c,

which is 0 yious.

It will be seen that I have shown-a burner. of simple, economical and effective construction in which a minimum amount of oil is consumed in producing a maximum amount 35 of heat and it will further be seen that I.

have provided a device'that wili positively consume all oil without smoke and odor. it I will still further be seen that I have provided efiicient means for the introduction of'90 steam to the burner..
